Yea thats how I did mine before I took the whole damn thing out...Body panels with zipties and duct tape, power steering pump held on by zipties, and lotsa Qwik steel.

The current car is the least ghetto one ive had surprisingly...Sorta.

I tried to stop a fuel rail leak with JB weld on my RX-7 at one point.

Let's say that didn't work out too well... I turned on the fuel pump while under the hood and the rail literally blew and the fuel shot right in my eyes. Gasoline stings the fuck out of your eyes.

lol.. It has no bumper support. And i was done with the swap and wanted to drive it.. So i put two sheet metal screws threw it. Just never got around to buying a rear bumper support before you bought it from me..:cool:

1.) I fragged the hell out of my trans at the street races in Jacksonville one night, and had to have one of my billy-bob friends tow my car the 30 miles back to the shop where I worked at the time. We used a chain and had it wrapped around the lower crossmember.

Just as we were pulling into the shop parking lot, the chain snapped and put a quarter size hole in my radiator. Seeing that I was already going to be out for the money that I would have to spend on a trans, I used a combination of JB Weld, 8802(military version of RTV), and a piece of plastic that I trimmed off of a fender liner. This was supposed to be a temp fix until I could afford another radiator. 2 years later it held up like a champ. I completely forgot about it until it started leaking after puttting a new water pump on the car.

Finally ponied up and bought a Fluidyne.

2.) I'm a DSM'r. Zip ties are my best friend. Currently zip-tied: Idle speed control motor zipped out of the way to curb cel's, MAP sensor to the fuel rail; injector connectors zip tied on, since they got so brittle and cracked (too busy to fix..)

3.) PS pump took a shit, so I removed it and the lines and just opened up the rack.

There is no such thing as ghetto rigging, it's just simply "re-engineering in a cost efficient measure" :D

Ooooo new sig! haha

Re: Ghetto Rigging.
 

I have jb weld on a hole in my intercooler pipe and it's held up to full boost for 4 months now!

I fixed a hole in the floor of 1984 toyota corrolla with packing tape and cardboard. I also replaced a broken drivers door window with the incorrect window. I carried a broken boom box around on the floor as my radio. Oh and none of my guages worked on the dash because of a short circuit.

Not quite the same on a fuel rail though. The pressure is what, like 45psi on a fuel rail normally?
